'That would leave out other operating systems ...' - That's what I
call lack of creativity. Never heard of browser detecting respond
systems?

Offering the needed hints browser dependent would even improve your
service.

-
'The GAE site should contain ' - Yea, when you set your targets so
wrong it's understandable that your are lost.

Better redefine your target to 'GAE should reach it's customers and
stop dropping necessary parts of explanation only because you can find
them elsewhere if you would know that you have to start endless
searches because these GAE guys like to waste your working time.'

-
'I got the remote API working' - no wonder that the expert can't see a
problem in steps which are self-evident for him. But being in service
it's your task to explain
just these steps which aren't self-evident for your customer at all.

-
Overall it's even more your attitude than the content of your
explanations which needs improvement.

You should think about, if you will go on playing king djidjadji and
waste your employer's time to treat your customers with impertinence
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=PYTHONPATH

or if you will open your eyes for reality and begin to think about how
to improve your service and yourself.

King regards,
Holger

[google-appengine] Re: How to store a dictionary in appengine

2009-07-25 Thread djidjadji

You can write a property that stores a dictionary. Search this list
and the Appengine-Cookbook.

The method is converting the dictionary with the pickle module or the
simple JSON module to text and store it in a TextProperty or
BlobProperty. And when needed 'decode' it.

[google-appengine] How do Singletons in Google App Engine (or more generally in a distributed server environment) work?

2009-07-25 Thread Shane

Hi,

I am intrigued as to how singletons work in Google App Engine.  Given
your application can be running in multiple processes (on multiple
machines) at once, and requests can get routed all off the place, what
actually happens under the hood when an app does something like:
'CacheManager.getInstance()'?

I'm just using the CacheManager as an example, but my point is, there
is a single global application instance of a singleton somewhere, so
where does it live? Is an RPC invoked?  In fact, how is global
application state (like sessions) actually handled generally?

Regards,
Shane

That would leave out all the users of those other operating systems
(Windows-7, Vista, XP, Win Me, Win98).
And the Mac users and there flavors and Solaris, Vax-VMS, HP-UX, IRIX,
Linux distros, Playstation-3. And then the google guys would leave out
just that OS that I'm using.

The GAE site should contain info that you can't find anywhere else.
There are a lot of good python sites and books (paper and pdf).
For OS specific stuff you have to use the docs for your OS.

I got the remote API working without the blog from Bill Katz, the
Article by Nick Johnson was enough. I know Bill's article was there
first but you speak in the present time.

Learning people how to find information is much more valuable then
giving it on a plate.

By the way

that funny tool of djidjadji
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=PYTHONPATH

is a sample how you could integrate necessary hints without blowing
your explanations to books.

Instead of demonstrating how Google works (giving your customers the
felling that they must be total idiots) you could demonstrate in a
similar way where to click in Windows and what to write in which box.

Thanks, John.

And you, Hrishikesh Bakshi, please take courage. You have got a great
product. You don`'t need  to poke fun on your customers or to search
for excuses (the Python checkbox just doesn't solve the problem as not
python but the yaml needs to be mentioned) - you can look forward
prouldy and say we'll be better and better and love our customers.
Then you'll be part of the success.

Hi Holger,
Google's documentation can and should improve. App Engine are in preview
release at the moment. I am sure the documentation will be much better
once it is fully released. I
felt the same about the documentation until I realized this fact.

Hi Holger,

During Python install on windows, there is a check box saying "add path
variable to system path".
If you had done that you would have saved yourself some time.

App Engine is new, documentation will improve.

Your posting is not entirely useless.
But it requires the reader to read another page and then again read your
post.

2009-07-25 Thread Holger

Hi Hrishikesh Bakshi,

'made for people who love ...'  - do you really believe Google is a
charity organization.

Come down to reality. Google is a company offering sevices to earn
money and pay its staff.

And this service should be customer friendy - otherwise Goolge will
disappear as GM just did.

If the Google staff isn't able to expess itself in a way
understandable for normal people this staff has to learn or to leave.

I don't want anybody to write my code I just don't want to be robbed
my working time by explanations written in a way that peeple need to
ask 28.627 questions (postings in this group) to get it working.

And if Google staff lacks creativity how to improve their explanation
they could at least attach sample code to make up for the black holes
in their explanations.

Kind regards,
Holger

App engine is made for people who love to code and learn new things on their
own.
Not for people who want everything coded for them. For that go to
http://wordpress.com .

 Also app engine documentation is improving. If you want examples go here:

Dear djidjadji,

you do a great expert work, but sometimes experts got blind, loosing
their feeling for the real world.

This happened IBM when inventing the two letters p and c and being
overcome my Bill.

That happened to Bill when being overcome by these Google guys

Shall that happen to Google too ?

Naturally writing your explanations not for your own 100,000 experts
who don't really need such explanation but for these 100.000.000 mass

abstract scientific explanation style you follow now.

You really need to be creative and find better ways of explanation.
What about downloadable example code working out of the box for every
